1. Enterprise browsers are just one feature of Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)

is wrong

Enterprise browsers have the same functionality as RBI in protecting against malicious code execution, phishing attempts, and dangerous file downloads, but in the browser. In other words, it can be realized with a simple configuration for the organization without stress for the user. And unlike RBI, which isolates only a portion of web activity, enterprise browsers by definition protect all web activity.

Key Point: Island's enterprise browser is fundamentally secure for all web-based work at a lower cost and simpler configuration than RBI deployments.

2. Enterprise browsers are just one feature of web security

is wrong

Enterprise browsers provide security at both ends of web applications and their data, but they do much more. By operating within the browser's presentation layer, it provides granular 'last mile' control such as screen capture, copy/paste, download/upload control, and leak prevention for sensitive data. But that's not all, robotic process automation (RPA), like adding multi-factor authentication (MFA) to old pre-existing web apps or putting extra approval steps in mission-critical workflows. Power any web app with All data is also sent directly to your SIEM for detailed visibility and forensic analysis.

Key Point: Island's enterprise browser takes a completely different security approach that inspects and controls web apps at render time, beyond the network and content layers, far beyond other security tools. We offer you the possibilities.

3. Enterprise browsers require managed devices to enforce policies

is wrong

Enterprise browser secures access to web apps and content on any device, managed or unmanaged. Understand the state of the devices they are running on and apply policies accordingly. For example, enterprise browsers can redirect file downloads from unmanaged devices to secure storage within the browser to prevent data leaks. Many organizations are using enterprise browsers to provide secure web access to outsourcers and BYOD users, replacing more complex VDI and DaaS implementations. It provides the same enterprise browser functionality whether running on unmanaged or managed devices.

Key Point: Island's enterprise browser makes securing access to web apps and content much simpler than VDI or DaaS, regardless of where they are installed.

Four. Enterprise browsers are the same as traditional secure browsers

is wrong

Enterprise browsers provide secure access to web apps by design, but are built on the same Chromium base as the familiar browsers users already know and love. Policies are contextual, so security controls that keep sensitive data safe and protection for enterprise apps are applied only where needed. Unlike single-purpose secure browser products, enterprise browsers are often used as the default browser for all web access.

Key Point: Island's enterprise browser combines corporate security and management policies with a fine-grained enforcement engine, so critical apps and data are always protected without compromising browser speed or user experience.

Five. Existing browsers already have the features enterprise needs

is wrong

Popular browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge offer enterprise features that are fairly limited and superficial. For example, the controls provided apply only at the device level, so by definition the policy applies to all web apps, leaving no room for fine-grained policy enforcement. It also completely lacks the most important enterprise features such as device posture assessment to coordinate policy management and browser-based RPA insertion to power web apps.

Key Point: Existing browsers have a small number of limited, surface-level enterprise features that were not designed to serve the broader needs of enterprises. However, Island's enterprise browser provides comprehensive control, visibility and governance over all browser behavior, providing a previously unimaginable level of security.

Conclusion

At first glance, it can be easy to confuse enterprise browsers with familiar solutions we've seen over the years. But if you dig deeper and understand what enterprise browsers have to offer, the truth becomes clear and many are misconceptions - Island has the power to change the notion of enterprise solutions.
